Part 3: The ROI of Child Care Benefits—Why Employers Should Care
Employers who prioritize child care benefits may find that the return on investment (ROI) goes beyond just employee satisfaction. According to research from Vivvi and The Fifth Trimester, companies that provide caregiving benefits can expect measurable gains in productivity and retention. The whitepaper highlights that when employees feel supported in their personal lives, they are more focused, less likely to miss work, and more inclined to stay with the company long-term.
In Missouri, where the workforce participation rate is heavily affected by family caregiving responsibilities, particularly in rural areas, child care benefits can drastically improve your company’s bottom line. Providing child care support reduces the stress that working parents face, leading to fewer sick days and increased focus on the job. It’s not just a human resources issue—it’s a financial one.
Employers that offer child care benefits not only foster a more inclusive work environment but also position themselves as leaders in their industry. Forward-thinking companies recognize that investing in their employees' well-being pays off both in retention and in community reputation.
